If they are smart they will have battle areas restricted .So even lower level players can play.

Where is the expansion for the PVE people? The 80% of your subscriber base?

Pretty much.  That's why I quit EVE.  CCP is at least 75% focused on PvP play and ignore long-standing massively game-play effecting issues for PvE (try running a mission in prime time around the Saila/Motsu area of Caldari space) even if there is an easy fix (create more high-quality Caldari Navy L4 kill mission agents elsewhere in high sec - trivial fix and nobody loses anything since they implemented LP store a while back).

No idea where the PvE expansion is.  They do add PvE things (L5 missions) but they use those to get people into PvP (L5 missions are only in low sec).

Active: CoH/CoV, Warhammer (beta)
Retired: AO, Archlord (beta), Auto Assault (beta), DAoC, DDO (alpha,beta&live), Dungeon Runners (beta), EQ, EVE, GW, LotRO (beta), Vanguard (beta), WoW
Looking forward to: TCoS, Fallen Earth

(Now if they just had player housing .... I would be there a L O N G time)

A new ship module that gives you a interior to your sip that you can outfit definatly fits the housing definition.

Are the folks at CCP taking advice from the Star Wars Galaxies team?

It is not difficult to join in the PVP experience. It can be fun.

I agree with an earlier poster: the guard duty thing stinks.

If CCP wants to work on an expansion, how about expanding the graphics for the crafter?

The spaceship builder gets to watch a timer count down as the ship is made? A lot of room for improvement.

The miner watches the cargo bay fill up? A lot of room for improvement. 

A researcher looks at the same count down. Things to improve. Just my opinion of course.

You get a gold star for hitting the nail right on the head. I could not of summed it up any better (or briefer).

  They have "Player Housing" since about 2005.

 

It's called "Player Owned Structure" and you can even build an Outpost. Admittedly, building an OP needs at least a very large Corp or an Alliance. But then, EVE IS a MMO.

Player housing is not POS's. They are 2 different things. Player housing has been being promised since beta but has yet to go into the game. The link is in the patch notes section in under development. You have to be logged in to read it and here is the link.

People have wanted PLAYER houseing since before there was Corporation housing EG POS's. So that is what he was refering to (if I understood him right). If I didn't, well that is what I am referring to. I like the idea of this expansion but it did not have to have another name. It already had one, it was called "Revelations".

I'm disappointed because I wanted ambulation to be the next big thing added.

That said, I'm already out in 0.0 amongst the player controlled empires.  This expansion seems to me that it will add nothing at all to 0.0  warfare, and will basically just be some new twist for the empire mission runners (I'm sick of empire and mission running, which is why I am in 0.0).

PS:  I agree that as it sounds now it's not the best choice, but don't insult CCP by comparing them in the slightest to the group of semi evolved simians who make up the SWG dev team.  If they were, they'd be nerfing Titans down to the same level as an Ibis and giving them away on character creation like SOE did to Jedi.

this could be the best thing that could happen to this game, now pvp will soar and ships will explode, finally the insane deflation might actually end. mining for 10 hours straight to earn a decent profit might finally come to an end. thank god.
